Offside. No goal

Enzo Fernandez has apparently been playing through ingunial hernia with injections.

drisham:
This is apt

And btw boss
What do you have to say ABT Jackson your boy??

Do you still believe in him??

That point is not easy to make in these hard times without serious backlash. But I still stand on the overall point I made. I will not write off any player until I see them under a sound manager.

Me I directly tie all bad individual performances to Poch's ineptitude.

Look at the Havertz we all agree is a bad footballer, scoring 13 goals in his Arsenal season with 4 games to go.

Striker job na 70-80% confidence.

raumdeuter:
57 Most goals conceded by Chelsea in a league season

The sad part is there are still 6 games to go

So let me ask again where is the bigger problem Attack or Defence

It's neither. It's lack of confidence borne out of weak tactical set-up - both in defense and attack.

kingBolton:
Pochettino: “Cole Palmer is the only player we have to link all the lines of the team. When you miss a player like this, it is not easy”

He is an Idiot. I have been saying for months that he needs to be playing Chukwuemeka alongside Palmer for a long time. This is the most similar player to Palmer in terms of link play. And I bet you, based on what I have seen, Carney probably gives us easily half of Palmer's productivity. Carney would have developed serious consistency to step up in the absence of Palmer.

The ironic thing is that before Palmer joined us, this stupid manager was using Carney for the exact Palmer role. He's a tactical blind bat.

He cannot see anything. He's not imaginative, he's not pro-active, he's not tactical, he's not inventive and doesn't know jack shit about the strengths and weaknesses of his players.

WhoDeyHause:
That Disasi-badiashile pairing is enough for him to be tried for murder.
It's like he too wants to leave and doesn't care about what's coming except his future salary compensation.

Bros. I insist, there is little wrong with these players. Even under the disastrous Graham Potter, Badisihile was saving our asses. Did he become bad overnight?

Na here we dey when Corporate Shoe was coined. Now we see formidable Rudiger.

The right manager can change a lot.

No player should be judged until we see them under a proper manager.

Any Chelsea manager who loses 5-0 to Arsenal after such a disastrous season should resign and GTFO.

Poch's attacking plan: Everybody run forward and pass the ball to the nearest player.

Phucking neophyte!!!

Leyqute:
1 good striker can massively improve this side.

One good Manager and this team will be unrecognisable.

Now people will see what I have been saying for eons. No structure, no method of forward play, no plan of attack.

Unfortunately, no individual brilliance of Palmer to ball him out.

Exactly. And we will deserve it of we go out.

I hope we don't pay for all the chances we are missing. We could have scored 4 already.

Blind people everywhere. See Madueke with a glaring pass and dude couldn't see.

Citeh have lost

Game over

Meanwhile, Palmer's immediate success is going to reinforce the business policy, and consequently, transfer policy from Clearlake Capital that stock-piling young players is the successful strategy.

I hope we are all prepared for that. So don't be surprised if over the summer, we are looking around the world again for unearthed talent.

They'll just go, if we listened, we will not have Palmer.

What a signing! 20 goals.

Goaalll

SimpleGuy001:
Also I think petrovic needs to go off, sanchez should come back. Petrovic keeping is awful sometimes

Abeg. Abeg. Don't put ideas in Poch's head. You want Sanchez to come and start doing what, playing the ball to the opponent under pressure?

Let's not act like we don't remember how calamitous Sanchez is.

One step forward one week, two steps back the other. Poor Manager.

Unbelievable

BlueMann:
Agreed

Btw, I like the way Carney moves

A smart manager will be finding a way to play Carney and Palmer together.

Unlimited22:
Very obvious

Clueless when playing against a low block. See defenders and midfielders going for the ball, defending in one straight line such that one pass or turn beats multiple players. Zero urgency in possession. Zero defensive organisation. Zero coordinated attacks.

All these are coaching issues.

All these are coaching issues. In addition to urgency are issues with pattern of play, pattern of attack, and players standing in the wrong places consistently.

Goaalll

Palmer literally carrying the club on his shoulders. What a signing!

Unlimited22:
It's very obvious

That's where I stand. Nobody is shit on this team, until I see them under a property tactical manager. Not this joke we have.

See Sterling going in half effort

Unlimited22:
I didn't mention Enzo and Caicedo because I'd like to watch them under a coach who doesn't set his team up like a doughnut.

Of course. I surprised not more people are saying this.

Unbelievable.

Unbelievable

And now fear is creeping in.
